The culprit in the daytime armed robbery of a county convenience store is still on the loose, and officials are seeking help to track him down.

The incident occurred at Mike’s Country Grocery, 2005 E. Gordonville Road, at 2:57 p.m. Sunday when a man armed with a handgun demanded money from a clerk, a media release states. No one was hurt, according to a media log entry.

The only description of the man is that he stood about 6 feet tall, weighed about 220 pounds, and wore a mask and a hat.

Witnesses told deputies there was a suspicious vehicle seen in the area before the robbery, and is has been described as a dark colored — possible maroon — sedan with a white or light colored hood. Deputies are seeking the owner of the car as a person of interest.

The robbery resulted in deputies, along with Midland Police and a tracking dog from the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police, searching the area of the store on Sunday afternoon. Midland Police cleared the scene just after 4 p.m.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call deputies at (989) 839-4609.
